2018 edition of I4CE’s Landscape of Climate Finance

26 November 2018 - Climate Report - By : Hadrien HAINAUT / Lola GOUIFFES / Ian COCHRAN, Phd / Maxime LEDEZ

The 2018 edition of I4CE’s Landscape of Climate Finance provides an overview of climate investments made by governments, households and businesses in France.

 

In 2017 climate investments exceed €40 billion, equitably distributed between households, businesses and public authorities. Nevertheless, investment needs are estimated at between €50 billion and €70 billion per year; investment needs could however increase with the adoption of a new Multi-Year Energy Programming (PPE) and National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC) that both aim for a carbon-neutral France by 2050.

 

Since 2014, climate investments have been increasing, but this increase is too small to close the annual investment gap: the delay incurred today will result in higher investment needs in the coming years.

 

In addition, France invests almost twice as much in climate-adverse areas with about 70 billion invested annually in principally vehicles and heating equipment using fossil fuels. This continues to ‘lock-in’ greenhouse gas emissions for many years to come.

 

Each year, I4CE publishes the Landscape of Climate Finance in France that transparently tracks climate investments in buildings, transport, energy production, industry, agriculture.

 

This Landscape is presented to the National Assembly and at over twenty annual events with the public authorities and civil society. It aims to inform the work of parliament and government and to open a constructive dialogue with stakeholders.

 

The Landscape is based on a transparent method, and its results are discussed in a steering committee comprising the Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition, the Ministry of Finance and the ADEME.

    Public climate investment: there is no “magic” money but there is room for manoeuvre

    The recent election campaign in France didn’t give priority to the climate and environment. However, taking climate action is still widely supported by the French voters and most decision-makers. But a mandate to act is not enough. To make up for the current shortfall in climate investment, we need a solid consensus on the financial resources to be deployed to the climate transition in the long term. Today, these resources come partly from public budgets. And it is not a secret that the public contribution probably will have to increase in the future.

    The Climate Investment Challenge behind the European Prosperity Plan

    Ursula Von der Leyen’s competitiveness agenda is grabbing headlines – but the hard work of climate implementation and investment is only just beginning. In this blog, Ciaran Humphreys and Dorthe Nielsen outline the challenges this era of implementation poses, and how to align climate ambition with the President’s economic vision.  Ursula Von der Leyen has been re-elected as Commission President – and by a wider margin than expected. Before the vote, she set out her political priorities for the next EU mandate. Her vision focused on themes of security, economic competitiveness, and enlargement – unsurprisingly so at a time when the EU is increasingly concerned about its place in the world.

    Financing the climate transition in France: what room for manœuvre on public funding needs?

    France is facing a climate investment deficit relative to its climate objectives. Today, these investment are already putting a strain on public finances, whether in terms of investing in public facilities or co-financing projects by households and business. Increasing climate investments is therefore a challenge for public finances. But the scale of the challenge varies, depending on future policies. So what room for manoeuvre is there in terms of climate-related public spending needs?
